Michelle Obama

AGE: 45
OCCUPATION: First Lady
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0

PRO: She's using her status as First Lady to push for military-family rights and kids' health, and she may be the best thing to happen to sleeveless style since Clark Gable.

CON: For all its prestige, her gig grants her proximity to power but little actual clout.
